The Last Struggle of the Aristocrats of England, A few years ago Great Britain was on the verge ofavoleano. A system ef class legislation had been carried on for centuries, which had legislated one portion of the community into surfeit, and the rest into famine. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of British subjects were slowly dying for want of food; and as there were no other re- sources left, to prevent general starvation, Sir Ro- bert Peel came forward with his great reform mea- eure, and the corn laws—that colossal system of int- quity—were abolished. The barriers which had hitherto been raised to keep foreign grain from com- ing into the English markets, had sustained the prices of food at famine rates; and every year im- mense numbers of persons died by starvation, and millione suffered, throughout those islands, from a lack of bread. 1t was perfectly understood that the corn laws, in the beginning, were invented for one single object—namely, to raise the price of food. If such was not their tendency, they would have been useless to the landed aristocracy; and this same aristocracy never would have sustained so vigorous and unrelenting a struggle, betore they yielded to defeat and overthrew. But Sir Robert Peel was a great statesman, and being the only man whom the tory party could at that moment put forward and keep themselves in power, they were compelled to swallow the bitter pill which he put into their mouths, and consent to give up their Jong guarantied and law-protected monopoly, or sufier the sceptre ef power to pass out of their hands. Of the two evils they chose what they esteemed the least, and their howl and clamor died away; and for two or. three years England was quiet, and there was a greater abundance and cheapness of food than there had been for a very long period. But it appears, now, that the monopoli is and | aristocrats have again rallied all their forces ; and | under the dexterous leadership of Disraeli, the now recognized champion of the ultra-conserva- tives, they are rallying their forces, and making another desperate eflort to produce a reaction im England, which will again establish that odious damnable system of famine-making laws, which will once more fix the price of bread by legislation, and not allow it, like all other commo- dities, to depend upon the ratio of demand and supply. By the recent English journals, we per- ceive that, in all the | towns, and in probably every county ia Great , the aristocrats and monopolists are getting up large etings, and by the force of bribery, corruption, dinners, suppers, ale barrels, barbecues, and humbugs of every de- ription, immense masses of people are drawn together, and hired speakers, sent down from Lon- don, are employed in the hopeless eflort of once more pulling the wool over the eyes of famished | millions. It is clear that the last desperate struggle is fast Coming @ in England between the rich and the poor There is a determinatioa on the one side, to retain all those privileges and monopolies which were granted in former ages, whea the rights of men were less clearly understood, and when it was suppoeed that those who were born with noble tides and princely estates, could ride with impunity over the necks of the poor. There a determmation, on the rate 1s a still more desy other side, perhaps, to recover those rights of | which they have eo long been robbed, and which, | they have recently discovered, are inherited greet Lord of all; ; and although the strv, seem unequal, and the most powerful and popular yet there isa more manly and desperate Tedling | despotism, than has ever been stirred before Cobden and other powerful leaders of the liberal | movement, are aleo in the field; aristocrats to the encounter. The friends of re- form in Jongland, no longer limit themselves to the Jaws of etiquette, or the mild arguments they once ured ; mistakable way, plamly told the aristocrats, if they wished to bring on the struggle, and try to force back the progress of legislation to where it stood before the abolition of the corn laws, that they (the reformers.) would not limit their efforts the next time to the mere overthrow of the mono- poly of the agricultariets ; bat that they might ex- pect that their colossal systems of wrong and out- rage, which had been so long sustained in Eag- land, by the force of precedent and the power of law, would be finally invaded, and the whole sys- t of oligarchical privileges and arictocratical | - * be hurled to the dust The day has gone by in England, when aris. | tocracy dares to meet the spirit of the age, and attempt to check it. The progress of mankind on the road to liberal institutions, is sure and irre- sistible, and it 1s as idle for the aristocrats monopolists of England to attempt to restore the abolished corn laws, as it would be in this coun- try to try te wring from the present Congress a hugh protective tarifl, or a re-charter of the old Dnited States Bank. ‘Trr Eastens Mart.—Owing to the storm on Satar- @ay night, the Boston papere of Saturday afternoon 454 not reach ns till last evening. Purcosopuy Peering at Catironnta.—Philo- ‘tophical, sound, common-sense opinions are not i} hkely te be entertained by the mass of the commu- nity, with respect to the immense yield of gold in California. Men axe apt to be misled, always, when the enterprise of the world takes a sudden direction into any one channel of trade. All his- tory confirms this truth—while the chagrin, disap- peintment, blasted hopes, and misery of thousands ought to have enforced 1, potently, upon society. Mankind, however, are slow to leara lessons by the past, or to studiously inquire into those broad and immutable principles of commerce which are never changed, though they may be concealed for a time by the brilliant and exciting phenomena at- tending business speculations of a gigantic charac- ter. We have depicted, already, the tendency to impulsive movements induced by the large impor- tation of gold lately arrived. We have shown with what speed a new State, as figured upon her seal, has sprung to birth, like the golden-breasted Minerva from the brain of Jove—and have urged the importance of introducing her into the Olym- pian circle of the Union, magnificent in the beauti- ful energies of her youth. It is now our duty, as it is our pleasure, with the calmness of philosophical reason, to consider seve- ral interesting pots, the examination of which may not be without a healthful and invigorating influence upon society, if the deductions arrived at be such as truth does not invalidate and experi- ence establishes. What great points, then, direct the mind on this question? Evidently these—la- bor, capital, resources, and tacilities for transport- ing products. ‘The first and most important of these, without which nothing could be effected, is labor. A solid mountain of gold, without labor exerted upon it, would be useless. When the hand of labor touches it, a movement takes place at a distance—the electric wire of trade vibrates, and capital 1s moved. Labor and capital, then, are the two main poineers in the work ; and in pro- portion to the assistance that capital gives labor, by placing the latter on the field of exertion, will be the extent of the production that 1s to benefit mankind. Yet all this would be of no avail, with- out the facilities for transporting the products of labor, for distribution throughout the earth In this succinct view of the subject, then, we have definitive and fixed positions from which to start, and it is evident that to increase the amount of labor at the mines is the first great desideratum. It.is that, and that alone, that increases individual or national treasure, and unless it be placed there, capital cannet extend its operations a single jot beyond supplying the wants end luxuries which that labor demands. The whole hope, therefore, of California isin her miners. The earth is the source of her wealth, and her laborers the cause of it. Emigration to that region, then, is desira- ble—nay, it is necessary ; and he who is fitted for toil and exposure cannot fail to work out tor him- self, by well-directed labor, the means of happiness. The idle, the thoughtless, and the dissolute, as they produce nothing, are worse than useless there. They may exist for a time, by gambling, and fancy themselves to be making money; but they will only stand in the position of aman shaking one bag of gold into another. The merchant has a better field. He will prosper precisely in proportion to the demand for goods created by labor. When labor is diminished, or ceases, his prosperity will recede, and losses will inevitably ensue. Thus it has been ever—and thus ever will it be, while the grass grows and rivers run. Ifthe tide of la- bor flows strongly towards the mines, and their yield be abundant, the result would be a happy one, yet only precisely as it would be, were the labor employed in anything else demanded by the nations of the earth. All the world is one great mine of wealth, of which labor holds the keys, and the treasure of which labor and capital distribute. While the demand continues—and there is no dan- ger of its ceesation—labor will not be employed ia vain. It will enrich itself—and always in propor. tion to its ability to save its earnings. The requirements of the occasion, then, are fa- cilities of communication with California, other things being equal; and we would urge the necessi- ty of some effort towards furnishing the means of safely transporting labor into, and preducts out of, the golden region, with ali possible speed. Thou- sands are panting for opportunities to exert their labor in the mines, and they should be gratified. Let the good work go on. If labor cannot be | ven’s name let it have full headway there, where it can can find its stimulus. Great good may re- | sult to mankind from the incitement incident to these discoveries. It would seem to be a special Providence that has opened this great reservoir of | wealth, to overturn those laughable ideal forms of society which the general peace of the world has meric and transcendental | doctors of the age. INTRRNATIONAL, Poort, period has arrived when our government ought to direct a liberal measure of their attention to the best means of regulating postal affairs with foreign countries. It is evideut that we are far behind | Great Britain, in coneulung the wishes of the pub- lic, and in extending the facilities for commercial | intercourse, by postal treaties with foreign States. | There should be more skill and generalship exer- | cived in this department of the public service, even from the correction of the constant carelessness | Joing business in our metro- and loose manper of d politan and provincial offices, to the regulation and establishmeat of some definitive and simple plans by which letters can be conveyed to every part of the globe. The complaints are loud and deep with respect to the deficiencies of our present contemptibly nat- Tow system; and if the reports of our countrymen | ebroad are correct~—and they are, we think, to be j | athe | le may Mr. Evrveainy ed by this outrageous system of humbug and | pa and they have | thrown down the gauntlet, and boldly invited the | = bei on the contrary, in a recent speech on this | subject, Cobden, in his straight-forward and un- | | quarters, ae though they were mere individs relied upon—even the late treaties with Great Britain and Germany fall tar short of sat ing the public desire.

This ternble commotion, it appears, owes its origin to the crying of newspa- papers for sale in the streets on Sundays, to the great annoyance of “those who wish to enjoy the sacred stillness of the Sabbath,” by arousing them from their dreamy repose while lounging on their velvet-cushioned seats in the fashionable churches in the upper part of the city. A quartette of these very moral people, whose religious sensibilities are 80 easily shocked, dating from the Duteh Church on Washington Square, were appointed a commit- tee to call a meeting on Wednesday evening last, to devise the best means of suppressing the “‘ ery- ing of papers through our streets.” The names of this august commuttee are Hudson Kinsley, H. P. Allen, Sidney Wetmore, and Henry Brewster; and, strange and wonderful as it may appear, two of these gentlemen are lawyers. ‘Well, the meeting was held at the Hope Chapel, on Wednesday evening, and various means were proposed to put a stopto the newsboys earning their living, and supporting themselves, their mo- thers, fathers, brothers, and sisters, by pursuing their honest calling in selling newspapers. Not- withstanding that the circulars calling the meeting were very neatly got up and prepaid, three churches only,of the twelve who were invited, sent delegates to it, and all the persons present did not number over sixty. After prayer, the business of the evening was entered upon, and the upshot of the matter was the appointment of two committees, from whose labors these extremely moral, pious, sensitive, christian, philanthropic and charitable persons cal- culate the end they have in view will be accom- plished. *One of these committees are to wait upon the editors of the Sunday press, and request them, in a very charitable and pious way, to aban- don their businees, and cease publishing their journals. Of course, this reasonable request will be immediately complied with. The duty of the other committee 1s to address the pastor of each church in this city, and request him to preach a sermon denouncing the sale of newspapers on the Sabbath. After this was done, the business of the evening was brought to a close, and the meeting adjourned, to meet again for the purpose of receiving the reports of the twocommittees. Before adjourning, however, it was proposed that a coliection should be made for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the room, which was stated at eleven dollars.— This was certainly a reasonable sum, and one would have thought there would have been no dif- ficulty in collecting it. After the hat was emptied, however, it was found that the agyregate contribu- tions of this collection of saints, whose religious sensibilities are so shockingly oflended by the cries of the newsboys on Sundays, fell short by five dollars of the amount required. Now, we can tell the originators of this crusade against the poor newsboys, that if they have the shghtest idea of succeeding in the project which they have undertaken ‘» this age of the world, they are deluding themselves, and they have done so already by commencing it ; and we could clearly demonstrate that the very press which 1s denounced by those extremely pious and moral people, is pro- ductive of more practical good than was ever dreamt of in their philosophy. These poor boys have themselves, and in many cases their aged and decrepid parents to support—and if it is necessary for them te do such a good work on Sundays, we do not see why the rich occupants of fashionable churches should take offence at it. On the score of morality, we have no doubt that the poor news- boys will rank as high as some deacons, parsons, elders, and communicants, that we wot of. We hear every day of crimes against morality and equity being pertormed in Wall street and else- where, by members of the church, that no newa- boy would be guilty of. Now, we shall give some evidence of the good which the news venders perform. The persons | named in the following list, support their families | by selling the Herald in the street:— Mre.

Total, 288, The aggregate number of people, of ali ages, and | | of both eexer, that obtain the means of living by j the sale of the Herald, it will be seen, is two hun. | dred and erghty-eight. Now, we would like to in- quige if one- seventh part of their living is to be taken | away from them, because, forsooth, the frequenters of some of the fashionable churches aflect to thick that the erying of newspapers on Sundays is sinful | {and immoral? We should like to know, too, | | whether the extremely prous people, who are thus annoyed, would make up the loss which the news. | | boys would sustain, in case they were precluded | | from following their humble but useful occupation | on the Sabbath. We might find an answer in the hatful of coppers that was contributed by them on Wednesday evening last, for the hire of the room ‘The newsboys are a spunky set of little fellows, | however, and think that they are abundantly able to fight their own battles.

The evidence has elicited, already, some valuable opinions upon the causes of explosions; and it 1s to be hoped that the continua- tion of the inquiry will result, not only in furnish- ing an important amount of useful testimony on the danger of stationary engines, but on the posi- tive phenomena which constitute that danger. The public are in want of truth—and practical men, who are in the habit of attending engines, are by far the best judges of fact, and but little disposed to theonze. The evidence already published in the Herald, exhibits, in several cases, a clearness and intelligence on the part of the witnesses, exceed- ingly gratifying to any reflecting mind. It would be invidious to particularize ; but there is one point, suggested by Professor Renwick, that was so promptly answered that it will bear individual allusion and public comment. We do not profess to take any side upon the question, but, as we have heretofore stated, theyg does not seem to be any good reason for entertaining Professor Renwick’s opinion as to the generation of explesive com- pounds. Steam raised to a certain pressure, may Tend a boiler, and that pressure quadrupled, sud- denly, may cause such an explosion as this that we have so much deplored. The explosion does not necessarily prove the existence of any inflam- mable gas ; and were a gas proved to be present in certain cases, we know not that the establishment of that fact is of any practical importance. It 1s certain that aa extraordinary power of some kind is frequently speedily generated, and that it 1s dan- gerous. The peculiar quality of that power is of but little moment. The great desideratum is to obviate the mischief it may produce—and to this one end the use of all investigation should tend, so that by a sensible, proper and forcible legislation on the subject, we may be spared another such horrible slaughter of our fellow citizens. Marine Casvactizs—Wrecxs or Packer Sirs. Within s comparatively short period we have received intelligence of # number of marine casualties, which resulted in the destruction of several beautiful ships— the consequent loss of a great deal of property—and, what is of more importance, of a great many lives, teo. It was only the other day that the beautitul packe’ ebip Henry Clay was destroyed by fire, at her dock in city, and in quick succession the sad tidings reached ug of the loss of the Oneids, the Caleb Grimshaw, the L. Z., and last, though not least, that of the Hottingeur, with her commander, Capt. Bureley, whose melancholy fate is regretted by a'l who knew him. Capt. Ira Bursley was a native of Barnstable, Mass., and commanded several ships out of Boston. The Dover (one of the line of Liverpool packets established in Boston some twenty-five years since) was built ex- prearly for him, From New York he has commanded succeesively the) York and Silas Richards, in Grinnell’s Liverpool line, and the Orpheus and Cambridge im the old line. He purchased and took command of the Hottinguer, and was mainly instrumental im estab- jishing Woodhull & Minturn’s new line of Liverpool packets, which a few months since were transferred to Grippell, Minturn & Co. Capt. Bursley was about fifty-five years of age. He wase man of great energy, aud possessed in an emi- ment degree ail the generous and noble feelings which characterize the New York packet masters generally. He leaves a most estimable wife and six children, and ‘was possessed of a handsome property. His interest in the Hottinguer was fully insured. He wes part owner of the Liverpool and Queen of the West,and hase beautiful house om Union Square in this city. ‘The Hottinguer was a fine vessel, of one thousand tons burthen, and was built im this city in the year 1840, The Atlantic Mutual Imeurance Company, of this city, had risks on her amd cargo, to the amount of from forty to fifty thousand dollars. We hype that we shall not be called upon to report a similar catastrophe for a long time. Very Late rrom tHe Saxowicn Istaxns.—We have & copy of the Fricnd, published at Honolulu, of Doeae.

Cabinet councils held on Sunday, are to be presumed to relate to important matters. The one held to-day, it is rumored, bas been in relation to a special message to Congress, for the admission of California into the Union, Mr. Beale, a democratic member from Virginia, bas written a letter to his constituents, denouncing ,the Nashville Convention, andthe course pursued by the Southern ultras, It has created much excitement in the Southern ranke. The treaty rent off to Boston, for transmission by the steamer, is only a protocol, we believe. It is expected that Mr. Berricn will address the Se- nate to-morrow, in opposition to the resolution of Mr. Cass, on the subject of the suspension of diplomatic in- tercourse with Austria. It is rumored that Senators Foote and Butler will, to- morrow, open their batteries upon General Houston. Southern members say that his speech concedes too mueh to the North.

MMERCIAL APPAIBS MONEY MARKET, Sunday, February 10—6 P.M. The stock market, during the past week, has been considerably agitated, and prices throughout have been ine very feverish state. Several of the fancies have been more active then usual, and, in some in- stances, an advance has been realized. There appears (0 be, however, about the whol vement,e mystery, caloulated to deter all but those immediately engaged in. and conwected with it. from bavinganything to do with the bubble. The present state of things is the harbinger of evil, and it will be seen, before the lapse of many days. that our predictions are nearer consummation ape bas been generally imagined That the market ie within ite olrele. For the purpose of showing how the fancy stock market stands, it is necessary to gtve « history of the operationgiof certain houses in the street. which led to the snepension of one of the concerns composing the combination. About six months since, three of the largest and supposed to be at the time the strongest houses in the street, commenced buying Harlem, Erie, Norwich and Worcester, and other fancy railroad stocks, the effect of which was to put prices up two or three per cent. Purchases were made, buyers’ and sel- Jere’ option. long time and short time, for cash, or any ‘way to suit, #0 confident were these parties of creating an enormous inflation. Contracts for an immense amount of all these fancies were made at 000 62 for Harlem; 00 & 62 for Erie, dividend off; and 88 & 40 for Norwich and Worcester, with # dividend in view, pro. vided the company eould sell bonds enough to pay it. Soon after these bull epeculatere got all the stock and al) the gomtracte to deliver that they could carry, prices a A loss to this extent,om co many thousand shares stock, must have been enormous, and must have serious- ly Weakened those who have up to this time susteined themselves, The clique of operators in the fancien referred to, made almost superhuman efforts teturn the- tide in their favor, but it was utterly out of the question, Had the stocks they held possessed any intrinste value, they mich Sere ovsped act of he retnvae Hess realized ; as were becoming im reality” Fromrdibesifherhea mcd ner apall ‘The failure we alluded to on morning, the house of Rawdon, Grosbeck & Co,,a firm of high standing, and reputed to be wealthy. This concern. had the control of about 15,000 shares of Harlem. stock, bought at prices ranging from 62 to 62 per cent. Several thousandjshares of this stock had been purchased” at high prices, buyers’ and sellers’ option, the eon- tracts for which are still running. When the house- found that there was no possibility of prices improving, and that they could not take in the stock contracted for, the managing member of the house laid out his- course and boldly pursued it; and we must give him. Breat credit for the shrewdness and cslculation ex- hibited in such an emergency. It commenced at tho: _ second board on Wednesday, when the sales of Harlem: amounted to about 5,000 shares, principally sellers: option, On Thursday morning 5,000 shares more- were sold, sellers’ option, and in the afternoon nearly as much more, on the same terms. Al! this was Gros- beck’s stock, and when it became known that he had: #0 many shares, and avoided bringing cash stock on. the market, the brokers of Wall street were ina dense fog; all kinds of reports were freely circulated, but none appeared satisfactory; aad it was not until the house of the large seller on the days named, suspended, that the mystery was solved. It was then clear enough. Instead of bringing all this Harlem stock at once upon the market, and selling it for cash, which would have created a tremendous panic, it was sold on long time, tellers’ option, which conveyed the impression that the - market would not be glutted,and better prices were there- fore obtained. This shrewd management reduced the dif- ferences to the loser, and will enable him to settle more satisfactorily. The contracts to deliver Harlem stock, now running to maturity, have been transferred to those who purchased on time from Grosbeck, and the failure only takes a large customer and holder of thie fancy out of the market. The effect of this must be unfavorable, and will be felt in a few-days, The game isin a very interesting position as it now stands; and as the parties engaged are all brokers, it matters very little which party comes off victorious. The most un- favorable feature in the affair is, a greater concentration. of the stock. The heaviest purchasers, on Wednesday and Thursday, were the other members of thecombi- nation, who were at that time holders of an immense amount of the came stuff. Previous to their resent purchases, they had, it was supposed, more than they could conveniently carry long; and we have long been anticipating a breakdown somewhere, from the enor- mous accumulation of stook in a few hands. It will be seen by our table of quotations, that priecee have, since this suspension, advanced nearly three per cent; but it will be observed tbat the daily sales, since, have not been large. It was our impression, when we first noticed such large lots coming upon the market, that it was the last dying efforts of some expiring bull; that all hope of prices improving upon any merit in the stock itself, had been abandoned, and thet the holder or holders had become desperate, and had determined to be relieved at once of the load that had been steadi- ly increasing and was daily becoming more burden- Some. It was our impression thet it was the voluntary ‘act of one who had seen the error of his ways, and had vbanged bis tactics and was abeut making an effort tc redeem his losses, by getting into the current of pub- lic opinion and float steadily om to fortune; we did not suppose for a moment that it was the energy of despair, or the lastexpiring throes of one of the most formi- Gable bulls the bears had to contend with. The result will, however, be the same. It has given the market generally, and fancy stock operations particularly, » shock it will be a long time recovering from; and theoe whe are drawn into it at present prices, will wish they had taken good advice when it was not too late, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for the principal speculative stocks in this market, for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week. previous.

No one can for & moment believe that it ‘was 02 cents in one year, and less than 20 cents in the next. The lowest price we have seen in any raiiroed report this year, of running expenses per mile, was 80 cents, and even at that low rate the runniag expense of the Harlem road in 1849, would be about six hundred theusand dollars. It is our opinion that they have ex- ceeded the gross income. If the Harlem Ratirosd Com- pany can operate its road for 20 cents per mile, It doer #0 at about one-third the cost of any other road in the country.
